Obviously this is a perfect year to have a high publicized
tournament in Boston- #1. like I said it is the 150th anniversary
#2. next summer (fathers day weekend and the weekend I was looking
at having the tournament) the Baseball Hall of Fame will be opening
it "Baseball as America" exhibit at the Museum of Science" (a
vintage tournament would be huge exposure). #3. The Red Sox won the
World Series....
> I would love to say I will put all of this together, but I
can't.I am running three teams and getting married in May. For
something like this tournament to happen it would require a lot of
effort from several people. I dont know if there is that much
interest in making it work...

as well- I know there are rumors and talks of leagues out there.
